Jager Burton, an offensive lineman from Kentucky, is preparing for the 2026 NFL Draft, which begins on Thursday at 8 P.M. ET on ESPN. At 6'3 and 312 pounds, Burton has demonstrated versatility by playing both center and guard during his college career. His athleticism was evident at the NFL combine, where he clocked a 4.94-second 40-yard dash and completed 28 bench press repetitions. Despite facing penalties for holding and unnecessary roughness at Kentucky, his skill set has drawn attention from NFL teams. Currently ranked 173rd on the consensus big board, Burton is projected to be drafted in the 5th round, although some mock drafts suggest he could fall to the 7th round, potentially landing with the Chicago Bears. With the Bears' Head Coach Ben Johnson known for his offensive expertise, this could be an ideal situation for Burton to develop his career.
